salem and sss

on our september road trip

one of our last stops on the east coast

was salem, massachusetts

i've been looking for these photos ever since

i downloaded them from my camera

put them in a folder, then in my vacation folder

so i thought

(getting old sucks!!)

while searching for something else

i found them

i haven't posted for

shadow shot sunday

for 3 weeks

and thought these photos would do

the "neat" border/frames

was a tutorial from my friend marie

over at lost aussie on the loose

a quick and simple way to frame your photos

christmas spirit

with only 28 more days 'til christmas

it's time to get the holiday spirit

at my gym

they are collecting gifts for

the salvation army

i noticed no one was buying for the teens

so i thought the girls might like my crochet scarves

now what to do for the boys?

many thanks!

i can't express how grateful i am

to my friend cat

for hosting such a wonderful and successful event

many thanks to all the guest

who made my jewelry sale

a unbelievable success

especially those who came in

all way from hamilton!!!

ready for sale

tomorrow is another sale day

i just finished my resin pieces

everything is packed up and ready to go

i hope everyone is in the "buying mood"

countdown

with such a mild fall it's hard to believe

that it's only 32 more days 'til christmas!

i know i've been counting since labour day

but somehow its hard to imagine it's that close

when there are leaves to be raked

and roses growing in my neighbours garden!

resin gods

it's been a while since i've poured any resin

i was blessed by the resin gods and this morning

woke to find all 8 pieces

with no bubbles!!!

now the fun part

adding the chains and embellishments

i'll keep you posted
